AFC East Predictions

In the following days I'm going to give you my breakdown of each division. Today I will start with the AFC East,

New England Patriots- (12-4) In this off season we watched the Patriots sure up their team with some serious key additions, lets take another look at the signings

Brandon Lloyd (WR) signed/unrestricted free agent (three-year contract (through 2014)).

Donte' Stallworth (WR) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Dan Koppen (C) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract (through 2013)).

Chandler Jones (DE) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (fifth-year option)).

Jabar Gaffney (WR) signed.

Joseph Addai (RB) signed.

Nate Ebner (S) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (through 2015)).

Some key games on the schedule this year ( I feel ) are Week 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15.

Week 3 is against the Ravens (Away)

Week 4 is against Buffalo (Away)

Week 5 is against Old rival Peyton Manning but on his new team the Broncos (Home)

Week 7 is the first of two games against the hated Jets (Home)

Week 10 is the second game against Buffalo 

Week 12 is a Thanksgiving night game against ( and our second game) The Jets (Away)

Week 14 is against the Houston Texans (Home)

Week 15 is against the 49'ers (Home)

I predict the the Patriots will go 12-4 this year and win the division and at the end we will be celebrating a super bowl victory, especially after last year where they had another bitter loss to the New York Giants. 

Buffalo Bills- (11-5) We all witnessed the Bills make the biggest splash in free agency this year by signing Mario Williams, they also went out and resigned Bryan Scott (LB) and made a push for

Mark Anderson (DE) signed/unrestricted free agent (four-year contract (through 2015)).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Buffalo Bills with have one of the best if not the best defense this year, however their offense might struggle. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a good QB but I don't think he will have much to throw to this year, and after that huge extension he signed last year I feel he has a lot to prove (in my eyes that is )

Here are my key games for the Bills, week 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 17

Week 1 is against the Jets (Away)

Week 2 is against the Chiefs (Home)

Week 4 is against the Patriots (Home)

Week 5 is against the 49'ers (Away)

Week 9 is against the Texans (Away)

Week 10 is the second game against the Patriots (Away)

Week 17 is the second game against the Jets (Home)

I think the Bills will go 11-5 and the will be a very close second to the Patriots, one of the losses the Bills will have will be against the Patriots so that will prevent them from winning the division.

New York Jets- (10-6) The New York Jets in my opinion are a train wreck waiting to happen. With Mr Mouth Rex Ryan at the helm there is sure to be some sort of trash talking going on. I feel Rex is a great Defensive minded coach and I know that they will be ready to play this year, but with Mark Sanchez being their QB I'm not sure they will get to the next level. Let's take a look at their new additions.

Nick Folk (K) re-signed/unrestricted free agent.

Drew Stanton (QB) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Chaz Schilens (WR) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

LaRon Landry (S) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Tim Tebow (QB) traded (for 4th- and 6th-round picks in 2012).

Demario Davis (LB) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (through 2015)).

Jordan White (WR) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (through 2015)).

Here are the key games for the Jets, week 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 17

Week 1 is against the Bills (Home)

Week 2 is against the Steelers (Away)

Week 4 is against the 49'ers (Home)

Week 5 is against the Texans (Home)

Week 7 is against the Patriots (Away)

Week 12 is a Thanksgiving night match up that's sure to pull you out of your turkey coma 

Week 17 is the second time they play the Bills

I think  the Jets have a lot of talent but will have some really tough losses this year, With Buffalo and New England getting better they might not have as easy time with them this year. I think the Jets will go 10-6 and might squeak into the playoff's

Miami Dolphins (10-6) The Dolphins were really aggressive this off season filling in a lot of needs and wants. With a new head coach and a new attitude they will give their foes a hard time. Lets look at some of their acquisitions shall we?

Richard Marshall (CB) signed/unrestricted free agent (three-year contract (through 2014)).

Paul Soliai (DT) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (two-year contract (through 2013)).

Artis Hicks (G) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

David Garrard (QB) signed (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Ryan Baker (DE) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Jamaal Westerman (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent.

Steve Slaton (RB) re-signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Gary Guyton (LB) signed/unrestricted free agent (one-year contract (through 2012)).

Cameron Wake (DE) re-signed (four-year extension (through 2016)).

B.J. Cunningham (WR) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (through 2015)).

Kheeston Randall (DT) signed/draft choice (four-year contract (through 2015)).

Chad Ochocinco (WR) signed.

Here are the key games for the Dolphins, week 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17  

Week 1 is against the Texans (Away)

Week 3 is against the Jets (Home)

Week 5 is against the Bengals (Away)

Week 8 is against the Jets (Home) this is the second meeting between them

Week 11 is against the Bills (Away)

Week 13 is against the Patriots (Home)

Week 14 is against the 49'ers (Away)

Week 16 is against the Bills (Home) this is the second meeting between them

Week 17 is against the Patriots (Away) this is the second meeting between them

They have a solid list of players, and with the resigning of Cameron Wake the defense is going to be good.

Will it be enough to surpass the juggernaut that is the Patriots? I'm thinking not, plus with them being in the so called rebuilding phase, I see the Dolphins being at best 10-6
